Kids are playing hide and seek. :)

Only reason I ever heard the stories back in 1971 was because of a divert - railroad was screwed and so my S/B rush D became an A and got sent to Euclid. When I got there, I was told to just park it down below and I was done for the day. They wanted the arnines I had brought in to send down to Rockaway to free up some cars to go back to 207 later that night.

So after getting the slow walkies tour of down below, I was curious about where all that went and ended up talking with a few old timers who had finished their day and were headed home. Heard the whole story of 76th, how it had been used for partial layups and storage, the whole "non-union contractor coverup" and the model board. Next time I was out there, I looked at the board and there it was.

Never gave it another thought until Dave's subchat and all the hoohah since. But I heard EXACTLY the same stuff way back then.
